Company Formation questions
Answers for Bury St Edmunds clients. Your accountant can go into detail for your situation.
Companies House usually approves an online incorporation within 24 hours on a working day. HMRC registrations follow in the days after.
It depends on profit level, risk, how you want to pay yourself and your plans for growth. We run the comparison for your numbers before you decide; a company is not automatically better.
A limited company must have its own account because it is a separate legal person. Sole traders are not legally required to, but it makes bookkeeping far simpler and MTD easier.
Annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return, a confirmation statement each year, PAYE submissions if you have payroll, and VAT returns if registered. All of these are covered by your plan.
Yes. Many of our clients are IT, engineering and creative contractors working through limited companies. We advise on IR35 status, pay structure and expenses as part of the plan.
Yes. We prepare property pages for Self Assessment, calculate finance cost relief, advise on incorporation where it makes sense and handle the 60-day Capital Gains Tax return when a property is sold.
